"Where are we dropping you and what stuff are you getting?" Micheal asked David as he drove them out of the compound. He was seated in the front seat with his brother while the ladies were chatting out back.
Leaving the house was the only thing David could think of. There was no plan for him whatsoever. If he did stay, his desire would rid him of his senses.
The night before when David came into Joanna's room, seeing her half naked, the desire to take her was so strong that he almost did it but then the thought of Vanessa crossed his mind and he knew he couldn't go with it. What he did not understand was why he was lusting after Joanna. They had nothing in common. She was a stranger and he knew nothing of her.
Although he had to admit that Joanna was hot. Seeing her coming down the stairs and her clothes hugging her curves was more than he could take and even when his mind screamed no, he wanted so badly to feel her that he had to walk over and kiss her temple. He doesn't care what others think. He just couldn't resist that. Joanna was tempting but he didn't want to betray Vanessa and until he spoke to her, he would keep his hands off other women even if that woman included his hot, sexy wife.
"Drop me at the airport". He heard himself say.
"Huh?" Micheal looked at him confusedly. David was glad Evelyn was not listening to their conversation, he would have had a lot of explaining to do.
"I need to fly to Florida" His eyes silently begged Micheal. "I need to speak to her".
Micheal grunted. He knew his brother was in love with Vanessa but he didn't understand why he would risk his marriage to chase after her. Micheal had thought that she was out of their life for good.
"Alright. But promise me" Micheal said as he kept his eyes on the road.
"What?"
"You are just going to quit her and come back home"
"Yes. Of course" David replied hurriedly. All he wanted was to come clean. He needed Vanessa to understand that the marriage was not his idea.
"Why are we heading to your father's airport, Mike?" Evelyn called from the back seat as they changed lanes.
"I need to sort out some paperwork in Dad's company in Florida" David lied. "I will be back as soon as I can".
"You serious right now?" Her voice sounds disapproving. "Did he ask you to go? I know he wouldn't! You just got married yesterday! How can you leave your bride? I will call him right away and demand that he postpone whatever that is!" She fumed as she brought out her phone.
The car came to a halt as Micheal stopped it abruptly.
"Don't call him" He simply said. "David messed up real bad. He needs to fix the problem or he will get in trouble. You know how rich old dad can be. Just let him"
"Is it that bad?" Charlotte chirped in.
"Bad enough to make him lose his inheritance".
"Fine. You come back tomorrow, two days tops" Evelyn grumped.
"Deal" David smiled.
David waved as he climbed down from the car and Micheal zoomed off. He hurriedly got into the service room and asked for the immediate take-off of one of his father's private jets.
He smiled, knowing that he would get to see Vanessa and sort out their differences once and for all.
*******
The plane landed in Florida and David got out. He had already called for a car from his father's office and a sleek black car was waiting for him by the time he arrived. He dismissed the chauffeur, got into the driver seat, and headed to the modeling agency where the audition was to take place. He walked his way to the reception and recognized the middle-aged woman seated behind the computer. He had met her when he brought Vanessa.
"Hey, you are back" She smiled, recognition evident in her eyes.
"Yes Ms. Cynthia" He read the name on her tag." I am here to see Miss Vanessa Palmer"
"Let me see" She smiled as she went through something on her computer. "Oh dear, Miss Vanessa Palmer did quit her audition at the second round". She informed him.
"When was that?" He asked.
"One week ago"
"Thanks" He smiled as he dropped some wad of notes on her table and hurriedly walked out.
David was sympathetic. He could not forgive himself for ruining Vanessa's chances at getting her dream Job. Modeling was her world and she quit right when she got a chance. It was all his fault. He shouldn't have told her about the marriage on the phone.
"Damnit!" He cursed.
He drove back to the airport, ordering an immediate take-off to Texas. That was where her apartment was. Their apartment before he was forcefully taken away from her.
"Sorry Sir, but the Jet cannot leave now or in the next two days". The control tower operator had told him.
"Why?" David asked surprisingly.
"We got the report of bad weather and any plane...."
"Damn!" David cursed interrupting the CTO and getting a look from the remaining staff. He didn't wait to hear more and left the building. He was trapped in Florida and had to be there for the next two days.
David drove to the apartment he lived in whenever he was in Florida and took a shower. He was restless. Evelyn has given him a two-day ultimatum and if he didn't meet up, then his father would be informed and that mistake could cost him his inheritance. Just a call from his father and he would know why he was in Florida. Mr. Anderson keeps tabs on all his children and would exactly know why he was there.
He picked up his phone and sent a call to Vanessa but her phone was off and then the thought of what Joanna must doing at the moment came to his mind. He shook his head. He knew nothing about her. It then clicked on him that he didn't even have her number.
